About Us

Providing Premier Pest And Termite Control Services Since 1966

If you’re looking for effective pest control services with lasting results, A-1 Pest Control is the company to call. Our family owned and operated pest control company protects residential and commercial properties from pests and the problems they cause and has been for over 50 years. With roots in Lenoir, A-1 Pest Control has grown to serve all of western North Carolina and portions of the Piedmont region including Lincoln, Gaston, and Iredell counties.

Our Story

In 1966, fresh out of pest control school at North Carolina State University, Jack Roberts and his wife Peggy bought a fledgling business in and made it the foundation for their family. Jack was active in the community early on, participating in Jacyees, Rotary, and local home builders associations. He wanted to make sure he did a good job and that people saw the value in his service. His son Bruce learned this legacy of service as he grew up beside the business, and today carries on Jack’s work. A N.C. State graduate just like his dad, Bruce worked at A-1 Pest Control on school breaks from his early teenage years and today manages his father’s business. He remains dedicated to the vision his father created in 1966 – taking care of homes and businesses with expertise and compassion.

Jack Roberts starts A-1 Pest Control (then A-1 Termite & Pest Control) out of his home with only one pest control truck.
